Playing "Walk" in Drop D
"Is there no *standard* anymore?"
I also love you!!
You win the comments.
Pantera tuned down a quarter step extra. Check mate smartarse.
sourcescience if you look in the walk music video you see that dimebag is playing his tobacco burst ml, that means that he’s playing in D standard according to his interview with guitar world magazine in 1997, the dean from hell was used in standard and drop d, he would have used that on stage if he was using the dime tuning.
@@sourcescience I was going to say the same thing. 432hz not 440. \m/
EDIT: KISS did it too. They loved kiss, could be the inspiration but it's well known E 1/4 tone down, 432hz. Fact.
You cant play killing in the name that softly my guy
RATM minus the rage.
Yea it doesn’t even sound the same when he plays it like that
Its a perfect example of why songs sound better when you add emotional playing to it
I was going to say the exact same thing.
@@DeboActivism Thank The Machine
my dude plays a BC Rich with the energy level of The Beatles
Lmao
Right lol
ahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahah
🤣
Guessing you’ve never listened to helter Skelter /:
0:16 I am Iron Man!
I'm Batman
I’ll give you that one
I'm Batman I was going to tell you that you know shit... until I saw the name xd
Rebel With a Cause I expected it from at least one person
BLACK SABBATH
3:19 that doesn't sound right.
It isn't.
why why he’s plam muting and playing wrong notes!!
He’s doing a whole step bend instead of a half step bend like the actual song
In this riff, un drop d just there to press the traste one
Put on your headphones
"Walk" doesn't sound right at all...
Yeah, it's wrong. It's a chromatic progression on the single notes and not a single bended note like he's playing here, and as others have pointed out he's in the wrong tuning.
@NESHMETAL Two of those chords should be 4ths up on the E & A lol
I agree plus he’s using the wrong tuning
@NESHMETAL To be fair everyone uses wrong tuning in this song. The song is not in d. You have to have adjustable tuner, set it to 430hz and then tune it. Closest is 1/4 from e flat.
@NESHMETAL OK true. 95% uses the wrong tuning. Even me. I mean I would have to have a guitar only for Pantera then and it would useless to anything else. It's a nice quirk tho and in a tribute band a vital detail.
The hell. “Walk” sounded more like “Skip” lol. Rest of the video was great!
Underrated comment 😂
are you.... THE fiend?
"Walk" is actually REALLY hard to master. Dimebag Darrell was one of a kind.
@ no it isnt, easiest pantera song by far
When u tune your guitar to drop D for one riff and you are too lazy to tune it back to Standard
Everyone is complaining about Beautiful People and Walk, but something about Everlong makes my heart ache
That muting was so bad
Yeah he didn’t strum the first EAD strings which his the best pasty of the song
“Walk” & “The Beautiful People” sounded waaaaayyyyy off. Hard to listen. Rest of the video was great though
MyKeyVengeance13 ikr
True that
Exactly. "Walk" is played in D Standard and not in drop D so that's why it sounds way off. And the drum beat for "The Beautiful People" was bad and way off...
Vulgar display of power was played a quarter step down from D standard.
Way off and the list is not that good either needs work
Tool - 46&2
Soundgarden - Spoonman
Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot
Killswitch Engage - My Curse
Stone Temple Pilots - Superman with Silver Guns
Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People
Lamb of God - Now You've Got Something to Die For (though Laid to Rest is amazing too)
Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot
Pearl Jam - Even Flow
Smashing Pumpkins - Jellybelly
My Curse Is in Drop C
Ozzy Osborne - No More Tears
CreamyCrumpets17 agreed, but it is quite the chore to name it
i really appreciate the jellybelly
my curse is in drop c tho
The only issue I've got with this is that Walk is not a drop D riff. It's standard D.
Everyone plays with their own style and technique. Not everyone will play each riff exactly the same and that's what makes guitar so much fun. Adding your own quirk to it is part of the experience.
Wow, giving you opinion without saying I HATE HOW YOU PLAYED WALK!!! IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE!!! Well done...
its d standard + a quarter step down
@@neurotica5461 that's true. Forgot the quarter step. Sorry.
It's d stand drop the 6th string to c
@@caded515 thatd be drop c but its not in that
Is it me or was the timing on Beautiful people totally off?
FartyFiddler it's not just you
Not just you
Made me cringe so hard
Jesus that was horrible you weak wristed bitch
It was WAAAAY off.
Pantera in drop D
Not good
RIP Vinnie!
Zephyre From what I've heard, the only song by Pantera that's legitimately in drop D is 'Primal Concrete Sledge'.
I believe Walk was in D standard right? I didn't hear of Dime using that many drop tunings till Damage plan. I know there is one or two on that album that are in drop B.
Dime was tuned between D standard and C Sharp.
DR440 'F**k You' is in drop A#!
It’s like he read the tab for walk and had never listened to it
We could tell the same on those Laid To Rest pinch harmonics smh
He played "Light Jog"
The timing on The Beautiful People is really messed up wth
Ikr? I scrolled down the comments' section to see if anyone spotted it before making my own comment. You get a like from me. : )
Module79L Me Too hahahahah
How can you be decent at guitar and still fuck up timing?
That's because he programmed the drums wrong to begin with. He used no toms.
Tarra Pasquier The general beat is still the same. He just screwed the guitar timing like crazy.

How come no one ever plays a Helmet riff in these videos ???? They did some of the greatest Drop D riffs ever....!!!!!
totally agree, but with his style it would be ridiculous.
It's all about the opinion of the one making the video.
@@idfk223 Then why is there a " Comment section ", if it`s onlly about the opinion of the one who made the video !!!!!!
@@onkelmarvin8360 Maybe you can change their opinion with your comment.
@@idfk223 well, sounds shitty as hell
Walk isn't in drop D and the timing in The Beautiful People was a bit off, but great video overall and the playing was very clean!👍
Marko Pegan
My hears bleed too much when i heard that timing and the walk intro...
Marko Pegan thank you lol someone noticed lol
It's not even D standard strictly speaking, do love their 1/4 step down ways though
Walk is in drop d tho
Dewey it’s in d#
Stop being so harsh on him lmao
Well he should have done his research and played the riffs right. Killing in the name of sounds dull. Walk sounds like shit he is in the wrong tuning. Lamb of god 🤮🤮🤮He royally fucked the beautiful people. He should have just done better. I mean I appreciate that he is trying and he is almost there but he needs to play better.
@@bloodblade58 okay extremegamer267
Yeah no... Criticism is how we get better! Should we not tell him and just let him continue to play something improperly and pretend it's correct? I think that's why everyone is such a pussy anymore, people are WAY WAY Too sensitive. No one said he sucked, no one said "hey dumbass, get off youtube!"... No, they just gently corrected what was wrong. "Hey that sounded awesome but so and so was a little off"... Being a musician is TOUGH. And Im sure this kid wants to eventually be as good as he can possibly be. So a little gentle constructive criticism is fine. Guitarists have more than enough ego to spare my friend. Trust me. He'll be fine and he'll GET BETTER for it.
@@bloodblade58 Bro, the beautiful people riff is so fkn offset from the beat. It's crazy lol
@@BunsenMusic exactly, it hurt a little to listen too.
Number 1 is by far my favorite riff of all time. Ever since I heard.i get chills from it. Playing and listening
Your The Beautiful People rhythm makes my eyes bleed.
intravena that song is crap to begin with hahahhahaa
Is that an Adam Neely reference or?
So does his version of walk
intravena thats all it took. Garth Brooks hates you
More like makes my ears bleed
Spoonman. All I am saying
I though as soon as I saw the title of the video. as the count down continued, I kept on thinking, maybe spoonman will be number one? not to be. well it is in my books.
that and Outshined
Them bones
Roby Man isnt them bones in drop c#?
Exactly!
This is NOT the riff Walk by Pantera. You are playing wrong power chords and riff should be played in Standard D tuning instead of in Drop D ))))
Yeah, that's not right either
Most of them are wrong and off tempo. Almost all of the palm mutes were missed completely and you can hear the guitar feedback. The bends sound like a dying cat.
And yeah, walk is played in drop d. Standard D is Motley Crue.
@@aliennation3054 well from what I've seen, Pantera does it in D Standard, while bands like Avenged Sevenfold covered it in Drop D, i would say because they play damn near everything in Drop D, and Pantera was mostly standard, so essentially it can either be played in Drop D or D Standard
@@Bang217 No, Pantera plays it in Drop D. Dimebag had multiple guitars with multiple tunings, but Walk was played in Drop D.
I was waiting to see unholy confessions. By far (in my opinion) the best Drop D ever created. I was about to be disappointed but I wasn’t! Awesome!
Drop D tuning and not even one Soundgarden song... Truly disappointing.
Ilya Ost no HELMET either... hard pass
Drop D tuning and not one TOOL song
I was definitely expecting Outshined lol
Read his description
Edryzal Azrel blah blah blah, we know. HIS “favorite” 🙄 we’re not saying he’s wrong, this is just what we were expecting
The lick that started it all was Van Halen's Unchained. Still the best too!
Lay It Down by Ratt was another great older song!
There’s a few dropped D tunes on Fair Warning but Unchained is lethal🎸👍
@@alecboswell5527 That would've never existed if it weren't for Unchained
Except it isn't in drop D. It's in Drop C#.
Unchained is played a half step down from Drop D
You did NOT play Walk the right way.
Too much bend!!
Yah you dont do vibrato on that its just a quick half bend
no you do play it with vibrato because it gives the riff character and feel whereas in the video this guy didnt do vibrato at all. Dime is heavily influenced by southern blues which utilizes a very vibrato heavy style of playing
No one but Dime could play “Walk” the right way.
Trent Stines Avenged Sevenfold did a pretty good cover. Syn Gates was heavily influenced by Dime.
What? You didn’t even include (insert vague song name here)?????
think the word you’re looking for is “obscure”
Killing in the name is such a infectious groove that I literally can slay on it all nite...
Black dude playing heavy funk, thats why
@@vilimbubas1302 what
Ain't Walk played in D Standard?
Yep
Yea.
Yea
Yea
no. -25% to c# from d
bad interpretation of "The beautiful people" :(
Felt rushed
Dead way of tempo and the mute rhythm is dog shit.
He's 2 notes ahead
Maybe he recorded it at a time where he needed to hurry
I think That Lay It Down by Ratt has Better Riff than You're in Love
^^^
I believe there are many better RATT songs then You're in Love (my personal favourite is Way Cool Jr.)
Top 10 drop D list without Tool is automatically invalid
Big facts
Yeah uber big factoids
Nup, tool is crap
Yeah the pot,46&2 are next level.
@@shaggymotionless4269 The fuck u say to me u little shit
Nice video Alex - thanks dude! I like how you are "slow to be fast" (baseball term). You don't rush your fretting hand and therefor pretty smooth :)
Unholy confenssions🔥
half of this list couldve been a7x riffs
Van Halen Unchained? Drop Dead Legs? Hear about it later? i could go on
I think unchained and hear about it later are in drop C#.
Technically you are correct because most early Van Halen was played a half step down but people just refer to it as drop D when it is in fact Drop C#.
Ethan is correct. Most all of early VH is tuned a half step low so "drop D" for his would be "drop C#". Its the same intervallic relationship as Drop D in standard.
@@composerdave68 Isn't slither also drop C#??? Slash has almost always played half step down
@@akdragon Oddly, Slash isn't tuned down a half step before dropping the 6th string. So it is in true Drop D. There is a lesson on YT with Slash teaching the riffs.
Everlong made me fall in love with the tone, bro! Awesome work!
Alex, you are a great Guitarist. That sounded Badass! Thanks for sharing.
I hope that guitar is as much fun to play as it is to look at. Absolutely gorgeous instrument.
It's definitely my most solid sounding guitar, very resonant, great for riffing and also has an amazing lead sound at the same time.
It's not as comfortable to play as an Ibanez/Charvel but it is an awesome guitar, thanks.
Okay so I guess we are not going to showcase “The Thing that Should Not Be”
I actually swapped that out last minute for Last Resort haha
NP Jas the thing that should not be is d standard
Taoj Chuan C# standard
Metalhead Lazz nope
D standard.
You are wicked talented, dude. Thanks for sharing.
No Tool??????? Get into Tool.
Big facts
And while you're at it 'Ashes to Ashes' by Faith No More
Especially 46 and 2
amazon customer Everyone knows 46 and 2 it's overrated
Vicarious or Jambi
Literally any Billy Talent riff could be on here. Ian D'sa is very underrated
You know he played walk to troll us right😂 genius
sorriest excuse for a cover of Walk ive ever heard
Dime would definitely be disappointed
Its his sound i think, because only a few sounded right, somethings off. He's not bad and at least tried. I give him props for it, i know his tuning is wrong for walk,DGCFAD, "C#m" i only know because of ola englund teaches it in one of his videos.
It's missing the balls.
You can frig right off with this “drop D” cover of Walk.
Some of these riffs you need more gain
Yeah, just for example Laid to Rest and Rein Raus
Everyone has too much gain and too much muting
Everlong
Rainbow Road song in the end! Yeaaah!
It's the credits to Mario Kart 64, but I love Rainbow Road too
Dan por aqui ?
rammstein wants to know your location
Drop tuning are amazing!
I personally only play on drop D and C on electric.
Open tunings on acoustic as w(h)ell to open the gates of paradise...
The Beautiful People timing tho
Didn't expect to see Ratt on here! I love playing the "You're in Love" riff. So meaty.
I did. And a Warren de Martini lick is allways savvy.
Literally every Avenged Sevenfold song is good for this video.
that's half the reason why I love them lmao
aren't most of their songs in dro c# tho
@@Dr.Stoeffloev pretty sure that like 75% of their songs are all in drop D, tho I'm not sure about their more recent stuff
chrissi_0520 uhh I don’t think so lol
@@Dr.Stoeffloev they have a few, most are in regular old drop d. Songs like scream and paradigm are in drop c# though.

- Toughest Riff: Laid to Rest
- Easiest Riff: Slither
- This is not an official Top 10 Drop D Riffs, it’s just mine. I can only pick 10 and here they are.
- I know there’s already a few videos on youtube similar to this but I originally tried to put this video together back in August of 2016 but got very sidetracked and eventually gave on the video at the time… Anyway I got back into working on it earlier this year after switching a few ideas what riffs should/shouldn’t be in the list I revived the idea and started working on it again and here we are.
- It was hard to pick between no. 1 & 2, they are both fun to play/listen to and want to make me tune to drop d more often.
- The riffs after the intro in Laid to Rest are in fact not palm-muted… I only realised in the editing process and wasn’t going to change it and film another take.
Guitarist6494 I’m not sure if this was just my phone acting up, but it sounded like you were playing a little fast. But over all, great vid. Keep up the good work
Which riffs sounded too fast?
Guitarist6494 Do drop C# next!
@TheSharkAnt Gaming & More I would but I barely even know any drop C# 😂
Guitarist6494 How about you do D standard next?
Unsung by Helmet would also fit here.
Love that song \m/
All the meantime album basically
Laid to rest is probably one of my favorite warm up riffs it’s so much fun and gets me loose.
same here
it was nice to see last resort on your list one my favourite riffs to play
Me too and It sounded perfect
Every lamb of god song
Star Striker ikr
the whole ashes of the wake album
Huge props for having unholy confessions be number 1. It's what I think of when I think Drop D tuning.
One of my favorite ones to do in drop d would probably be sound of madness by shinedown
God that Pantera drop d Riff is just horrible
The actual song kills though. That album was legendary and that band changed metal.
Arzamet Lomiia It’s supposed to be in D standard. Not drop D
@@bobthebarney9005 but it wont change anything just the solo...
@@bobthebarney9005 and 4/5 step down haha
@@thedancingguy828 umm yes string tension does change tone.
There's a lot of tab on the net giving Walk in drop D so I now understand why you've included it.
Yeah bro I hate to say this but “Walk” is in
‘D Standard’ not ‘Drop D’ all good tho bro
Playing is good, but Walk is in d standard and your tone sounds bland
Taoj Chuan Well, Walk is actually in D standard, NOT drop D.
Crafty the Raccoon HTF youre right that what i meant in the first place, just a little typing mistake
gamesandguitars003 and your argument is irrelevant
I agree. The bend was weak and robotic
gamesandguitars003 do you really think that the fact he has more subscribers than me makes him immediately better than everyone who doesnt record videos? XD are you seriously that dumb?
For everybody talking about the Walk riff, Dime does use D Standard for it, but he has also mentioned in a live show for an amp company (can't remember the name) that he uses a guitar set to Drop D for songs like Walk and A New Level. So you're right, but so is he.
His riff still sucks though....
Edit: The company was Marshall I do believe.
Wyatt James dimebag’s riffs are amazing. Moron!
@@thisnamedosntmatter2u352 I wasn't talking about Dimebag. I was talking about this guy. Whoever this youtube video is. That pull off is very difficult to do right. It sets the attitude of the whole song.
Wyatt James oh sorry man I misunderstood. Yeah this guy played the riff very wrong but it isn’t easy to play it like dime did. No one can. But this guy could have tried a bit harder
So ya do what they told ya
Cliff Brower now you’re under control
F#@k you, I won’t do what you tell me!
you can swear on the internet bud we wont tell
i would tell....
@@llamashockz FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
5:21 my favorite part "Avenged Sevenfold"
He it played it wrong.
Overall pretty good video. Need some more power and feeling when playing songs. Kinda made Walk, Unholy, Killing in the name of and Laid to Rest sound real weak and kinda weird. Overall good video 👍
I love dropD because it’s easy to tune and gain heavy sound
I also think the timing of the beautiful people is messed up from JP.
Try drop C
Everybody is this comment section is either:
“ITs ACtuaLLY iN D sTanDarD” or
“BUt WhAt aBoUT tHiS SOng???”
Don't forget "That's such a terrible tone".
well it is a really bad video
mrtalkative91 Fuck you.
@@gabewilliams7462 Grow up.
Sectric Grow up? Really? This guy is dissing a relatively good video, so i say “Fuck you” and i need to grow up??
That tuning of Walk is having Dime spin in his grave
I love A7X unholy confessions I wish you would’ve played the second main riff tho I love that part and it’s so fun to play make another list for sure
Don't listen to the negative comments, it's just people taking their insecurities out on you
Conspicuously absent are King's X, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden all of whom were the first people beyond the country and country/rock people that I can remember using Drop D fairly consistently.
Walk is in One Step Down Tuning ( D G C F A d ) and Not in Drop D ( D A D G B e )
Actually it is slightly lower guitarlessons365.com/walk-guitar-lesson-w-onscreen-tab-pantera/
The Living End - Carry Me Home. the best drop D forever
Thats not Walk thats Run my guy
Walk isn’t in drop D though?
Chris Chapman D standard
A7x does it in Drop D
Pantera does it a quarter step up from C standard I believe or it's a quarter step up from d standard I don't remember what one but that's what gives it the devilish tone it has
Thomas Slater Avenged does it in drop D flat or C sharp whatever you want to call it. Idk if that counts or not
I've always played it in drop d
I mean that works you just don't get the same tone out of it
Songs are not important. That guitar is so goooodd B. C. Rich mochingbird 👌👌👌👌
When you played "walk" that hurt my feelings 😭
I liked it when he played *mario kart*
carimusic you would you jackass. Now go charge your phone. Burn
You are killing it!!!
All Rammstein riffs with Drop D sound so perfect
Lay it Down - Ratt is the greatest drop D riff of all time.
Daniel Lerch - agreed totally
Daniel Lerch 100%
Daniel Lerch I can think of a couple that are a lot more heterosexual...just sayin
David Lee Roth lol. Eh ratt was silly but they had good licks.
David Lee Roth are you fuckin’ crazy? There’s nothing gay about the riff or the writers. Ah the irony if image is your reasoning. 🙄
I enjoyed that very mutch man D Great Riffs, great Guitar...Great Player.
down tunes guitar in beginning:
me: I AM IRON MAN
before watching, if unholy confessions isnt on this.......
Aaron S number 1 bitcheeesss
Heretic sounds 10x better than unholy confessions. A7x riffs are all fiya tho
Tre Monk Heretic riff better than unholy confessions😂😂 now that’s rich
lukethecoolfool what about betrayed
Tre Monk That I might consider as good
Good video, thanks for putting all these songs on, you play pretty good. Most of these tunes look difficult. Have a some negative comments on here, guess we have some real guitar masters on here...
not to be a nitpicker, but i really didn't like the bends in Walk. They just sounded a bit too high. Still loved the vid good work man.
StaffSergeantGamer its just because he didnt have the Dime tone
StaffSergeantGamer tjats because most pantera are a full step down and he olayed in drop d not C like it should have
AceMckickass 7 Actually, it's just because he didn't bend and his tone was weak. And please learn your pantera before commenting about it, different albums had different tunings for most songs. Walk is in D standard. Not drop D.
Kkona Brether a full step down is D standard i litterally just said that....
AceMckickass 7 You said C.
"Top 10 heavy metal guitar riffs"Video
You Commented That You forgot about Pantera
"Im Expecting Pantera For Your Next Video"
Next Video Released "Top 10 Riffs of the 90s"
Yes I See Pantera And You Commented That You Forgot About Rage Against The Machine
This Video "I Can Already Tell That Ratm is here Somewhere"
And in What Planet Does Walk by Pantera is Played in Drop D?
Nice video Btw,But I Kinda Disagree That Killing in the Name is So Low
Its one of the most Iconic Drop D Riffs
More Iconic Than Beautiful People tbh
But still a great Video,Whats Your Next Top 10?
You are very observant my friend.
Replying to your other comment; Yes I actually have a list planned for a Motley Crue Riffs video, just have to time getting my Charvel tuned down a whole tone when it comes to using it for other videos, but I've got that planned for sometime.
Why is everyone talking crap....this is a good video he did really good on every song....glob and I’ve been playing for 7 years....lol he is good !!!
What SD pickups do you have in that axe?
I think you made Walk harder than it had to be. It's just tuned down to D. Not drop D. They still had a little of that 80s glam in them from their beginnings. Think crue played most of their stuff tuned to D too
Tuning to d is harder than drop d as in its more of a faff
What’s happening in “Walk” is he’s letting the bend come back up and the open note right after the bend should be palm muted
This dude has such clean production and solid tone.
Unholy Confessions is so much fun to play
Jorge Chávez it's so much fun
Jorge Chávez yes it is
I still don't know how you guys play it while string skipping and down picking
Akhtar Zamil Sirajudeen practice man. I’ll pick up my guitar and basically get lost playing and end up spending a few hours doing so. As long as you don’t loose your temper when playing you will make progress.
It is more fun when you can play with another guitarist with the harmonies
Thanks for the Riffs .
Enjoyed it all ⚡
Man every time I hear RATM I feel the urge to practice another hour. Side note, that is a much easier way of playing Last Resort than I learned, lol.
I challenge you to find 10 standard tuning A7X songs
They have a decent number of songs were one guitar ( or several) are in drop tuning and another in standard. mostly on songs that have some clean guitar in them. Seize the Day, sidewinder, etc.
So far away hahaha
